Laughed with fully able bodied folks as well as clients with head or body injuries, Dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. In this class "How to Lead Chair Laughter Yoga & Wellbeing Laughter Classes for Seniors" I will share how I have creatively woven my background in the performing arts, the healing arts, and the art of laughter into joyful experiences for thousands of seniors over the years.
